Jodie Foster

And I did the best I could.

I had a big plan in mind of making films that could make people better.

And that's all I wanted to do was make movies.

I didn't want to be a public figure or a pioneer or any of those things.

And I benefited from all of the pioneers that came before me that did that hard work of making

Having tomatoes thrown at them and being unsafe.

And I thank them.

But we don't all have to have the same role.

And I think my role was making movies that mattered and creating female characters that were human characters and creating a huge body of work and then being able to look back at the pattern of that body of work and go like, oh, wow, Jodi was amazing.

She played a doctor.

She played a mother.

She played a scientist.

She played an astronaut.

She played, you know, she killed all the bad guys.

So, you know, she did all of those things and, you know, had a lesbian wife and had two kids and, you know, was a complete person that had a whole other life.

And I think that will be valuable someday down the line that I was able to keep my life intact and leave a legacy.
